Well, you're back on my [Bb] doorstep a-crying
Like [F] I cried for all [C] those lonely years
[F] But I can't dry your tears
It's [Bb] been too long since [F] love was here
And I've already gave you
[C] My [F] better years
And so the pages of time
Kept [Bb] right on turning
They [F] never stopped for us to harvest [C] the years
[F] And the lambers of love
Kept [Bb] right on dying
For [F] there was no [B] one to dry [F] my tears
And you're back on my [Bb] doorstep a-crying
[F] Like I cried for all [C] those lonely years
[F] But I can't dry your tears
It's been [Bb] too long [F] since love was here
And I've already gave you
[Ab]
[C] My [F] better years
[Bb] [F]
[C] [F]
But I'll try not to blame you
[Bb] I'll try not to shame you
[F] All I can do now is [C] wish you well
But [F] if you should meet a friend
[Bb] I'll be there [F] till the end
Oh, but don't ask me to [C] love [F] you again
So come back on my [F] [Bb] doorstep a-crying
[F] Hoping for what's been [C] dead so long
[F] For the embers of woe [Bb] turn to ashes
There's [F] nothing here [C] but old memories [F] and this song
So don't come back on my [Bb] doorstep a-crying
My [F] friend, there's nothing [C] but old memories and [Fm] this song
Like [F] I cried for all [C] those lonely years
[F] But I can't dry your tears
It's [Bb] been too long since [F] love was here
And I've already gave you
[C] My [F] better years
And so the pages of time
Kept [Bb] right on turning
They [F] never stopped for us to harvest [C] the years
[F] And the lambers of love
Kept [Bb] right on dying
For [F] there was no [B] one to dry [F] my tears
And you're back on my [Bb] doorstep a-crying
[F] Like I cried for all [C] those lonely years
[F] But I can't dry your tears
It's been [Bb] too long [F] since love was here
